Gameday guide for AFLW Round Nine: Crows wait for Kangas
The Roos, who go to Adelaide to play the Crows this weekend, continue to face challenging opponents.

The North Melbourne Tasmanian Kangaroos, who this weekend go to Adelaide to play the Crows, continue to face challenging opponents.

When the Darren Crocker team takes the field at Norwood Oval on Sunday, they’ll be aiming to bounce back from their disappointing Round 7 loss to the Demons, while the Crows will be looking to maintain their top-two standing.

With the home and away season coming to an end, it’s another crucial game that could have finals implications for the Kangas.

The opposition

After going seven straight weeks without a defeat to begin the 2023 campaign, the Crows suffered their first loss last week when they were trumped by Brisbane.

While the loss dropped them to second on the ladder, the club still boasts a victory over reigning premiers Melbourne, an outfit the Roos struggled to dissect in Round 7 after quarter-time.

Midfielder Ebony Marinoff has again been a weapon for Adelaide this season averaging 28.5 disposals and 10.5 tackles, while working in tandem with Anne Hatchard who is collecting 25.3 touches per game herself.

Caitlin Gould and Danielle Ponter pose as threats inside the Crows’ attacking 50. Both have booted 14 goals apiece and are two of only seven players in the League to have kicked 14 or more this season.
